This really looks amazing! I saw your post describing your product in relation to Auth0/Okta at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26070302 and it makes a ton of sense. Many (most?) enterprise-facing startups don't start out that way, and it's painful in practice (and in principle!) to be power-sold to "lift" your existing users into a solution like Auth0, just to accept SAML logins for new users. And pricing per connection is infinitely more justifiable than pricing per user, especially in that context, especially with today's acquisition removing any downwards price pressure on that per-user pricing!!!

I might reach out to you with some questions about our use cases - we're in early conversations with an enterprise client who uses Auth0 for their user management, and ideally we'd be able to use their Auth0 as an IDP for SSO into our existing Django application. Would also love to pick your brain on potential solutions for B2B2C use cases - your Admin Portal concept reminds me very much of a page I've written far too often in the past :) Feel free to reach me as well at btown.hn@gmail.com.



Yep, we can definitely support Auth0 as an IdP. It's a less common set up (versus IdPs like Okta or Azure AD) but still something we support.

Feel free to send me a note. (Or anyone reading this too!) I'm mg@workos.com
